Couple who allegedly starved their baby, while nurturing a virtual baby on Internet, go on trial

The trial of an unemployed couple who were arrested in March, accused of starving their baby to death began today in Suwon, a satellite city south of Seoul, South Korea.

The couple reportedly left their 3-months old baby alone for 12-hour periods, as they played on-line games in a cyber cafe. A male, 41, and his partner, 25, are charged with negligent homicide.

Ironically the couple developed an obsession with a role-playing game called Prius Online, a 3D fantasy game, in which players raise a virtual baby girl called “Anima,” creating a second life for themselves.

“The couple seemed to have lost their will to live a normal life because they didn’t have jobs and gave birth to a premature baby,” Chung Jin-Won, a police officer, told Yonhap, a Korean news outlet. “They indulged themselves in the online game of raising a virtual character so as to escape from reality, which led to the death of their real baby.”

He thought his wife was an imposter

If the incident wasn’t so tragic, you’d be holding your stomach, ROFL

The defense doesn’t dispute that Blazej Kot, 25, murdered his wife Caroline Coffey, a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University, but Kot suffered from a psychiatric disorder known as “Capgras delusion,” which made him think his 28-year-old wife had been replaced by an identical-looking impostor. —Joe Joch, the murderer’s defense attorney.

“You have to be willing to learn about mental illness and how it presents itself [if Kot is to get a fair trial,] Joch told the jury. “There is no simple explanation. The explanation is found in the human mind as it descends into the abyss.”

How come murderers who hide behind some sort of insanity plea always get “smart” attorneys? Would Joch buy that defense tactic, if his own daughter had been brutally murdered?
